Pardon me for jumping in here, but this brings up a high-level design 
question I have:

With the Synopsis parsers I used the approach of emulating external 
(real) compilers, by scanning for them, and using heuristics to figure 
out what symbols they would expect and emit, as well as where they store 
system headers.

Thus, my parser wouldn't need to do any of this.

How does this work with CLang ? Does it know anything about specific 
platforms ? What do I need to feed in to get an environment similar to, 
say, GCC ?

Thanks,
         Stefan
